Funding

During 2012 – 2015, Dial-a-Molecule made funding available to the community via three main mechanisms: Proof-of-Concept Awards, Interdisciplinary Mobility Funding and Early Career Researcher Bursaries.

Below are details of projects the Network supported:

Funded Proof-of-Concept Studies

This activity was aimed at providing seed-funding for novel, early stage research critical for the development of the Grand Challenge which cannot be funded in a timely manner by other sources. Dial-a-Molecule made 6 of these awards, each funding 3 months PDRA time (at 80% fEC, including direct costs). More information can be found by clicking on the title.

Continuous Synthesis of Organic Carbonates by Direct Condensation of Alcohols with CO2

Porphyrin Formation in Flow: Can yield be optimized?

A. Slater (University of Nottingham)

Early Career Researchers Bursaries

These covered travel expenses and accommodation costs to allow ECRs to attend Dial-a-Molecule events. (ECRs are defined as post-doctoral research fellows and academic staff in the first three years of their first academic appointment). We made awards to the following:
